Bikes & Public Transit

Have you ever taken your bike on a bus or subway train, and lost
control of it.
Ever had it roll or fall because of the vehicles movement. I have a
solution for this.
Email me for details.

Does your solution involve holding onto the darned bike?

Vancouver has allowed bikes on our rapid-transit system (Skytrain) for
about a year now, and I have used it several times. The obvious solution
to this non-problem is to carry a couple of small straps or ties, and
tie the front wheel to the downtube and the bike to a hand-hold pole.

Toeclip straps would be secure enough, and would have built-in
'quick release' functionality.
